Can squatting really make you taller?

In real life, many people are not very satisfied with their height. Due to the different physiques of different people, if the body does not fully absorb the nutrients in food, it will easily lead to slow growth. After a certain age, the bones will stop growing, and the height will no longer increase. Therefore, many friends want to use exercise to increase their height. So can squatting help you grow taller? Let us take a look at it together below.

The main reason for growing taller is that the lower body and legs grow faster. The "squat method" is a whole-body exercise, especially with the greatest impact on the lower legs, and it will definitely be of great help in growing taller. Simple and flexible.

Because it does not have any moves and does not require any equipment; it is flexible because it can be practiced anywhere, indoors or outdoors. In terms of time, it can be practiced during breaks in the morning and afternoon, or in free time in the morning and evening. Office workers like to practice it anytime and anywhere in collective settings such as offices.

The basic movements are: keep your feet together, center your body straight, put your center of gravity on the front of your feet, hold your chest and abdomen in, relax your whole body, do not tilt your head back or tilt your head, always keep your legs together, squat completely and then slowly stand up, repeat this many times.

There are two types of squat methods: regular and difficult.

1. Conventional squat method. Do 30 squats in a set, the more the better. A workout usually lasts 30 minutes. Squat exercises can be done multiple times a day. Of course, squatting exercises should also be done step by step, and you should gradually increase the amount. For example, you can only do 30 squats the first time, and then increase to 60 squats after two days, and then gradually increase the number. Be persistent and keep doing it, it will definitely be beneficial to your fitness and height increase.

2. Make squatting more difficult. As the exercise progresses and the body is able to fully adapt, you can consider increasing the difficulty of the movements according to your personal preferences. That is, when squatting, gradually control your knees to be within your toes. The purpose is to stretch the entire spine to the greatest extent, including the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and coccyx.

3. This is equivalent to being able to squat completely with your toes touching the wall. When squatting, your breathing also changes from natural breathing to deep breathing, that is, exhale when squatting and inhale when standing up, because deep breathing itself is a healthy exercise. If you take deep breaths when squatting, you can squat five to ten times and breathe once, or you can squat once and breathe once. The best way to breathe is through the nose, in and out, but in and out is also acceptable.

4. Of course, you can also combine the more difficult squat exercise with the arm stretching exercise, which not only effectively exercises the lower body, but also intentionally exercises the upper limbs.

5. Squatting means deep squatting. Squatting and jumping are based on the same principle, both of which put pressure on the bones to make people taller. If you are around 15 to 17 years old, it is more appropriate to do weighted squats. If you are under 15 years old, you can do it without weights.

The above article provides a detailed introduction to whether squatting can help you grow taller. I hope that everyone can do some squats or jumping exercises appropriately in their daily lives. Long-term persistence can achieve bone growth, increase height, etc., which is very beneficial to the body. In addition, you can also eat more foods high in calcium to help you grow taller.
